Amazon Comprehend is a natural-language processing (NLP) service that you can use to extract valuable insights and connections from text. In this "Getting Started" course, you will learn about the benefits, features, typical use cases, technical concepts, and costs of Amazon Comprehend. You will have the opportunity to review an architecture for a text-processing solution that uses Amazon Comprehend, which you can adapt to your own use cases. Through a guided tutorial consisting of a narrated video, step-by-step instructions and transcript, you will also try the service in your own Amazon Web Services (AWS) account.


In lieu of using your own account, you can become an AWS Skill Builder subscriber to unlock all our hands-on, interactive content, including unlimited access to 125+ AWS Builder Labs. These hands-on, guided labs allow you to develop practical skills for common cloud scenarios by building in an AWS sandbox environment without the risk of accruing unwanted charges.
